1.	How is balanced force different from an unbalanced force. Can balanced forces move a body at rest?
Answer» Forces are of two types – balanced forces and unbalanced forces. If the resultant of all the forces acting on a body is zero, then the forces are called balanced forces. Suppose a heavy box is lying on the ground. Let us push this box with our hands but it does not move. Though the box is at rest, four forces are acting on it – force of push, force of friction, force of gravity and force of reaction. The forces acting on a stationary box is an example of balanced forces. Thus balanced forces cannot produce motion in a stationary body or stop a moving body.If the resultant of all the forces acting on a body is not zero, then the forces are called unbalanced forces. Unbalanced forces can move a stationary body or can stop it. Suppose a toy car is lying on the ground and we push it with our hand, it starts moving because the opposing force of friction is very less.
